Guillaume Counseling Services, P.C. is a group practice specializing in maternal mental health and paternal mental health, serving individuals and families struggling with anxieties and mood disorders, with children ages 0-5. We specialize in mental health and relationship counseling for couples and individuals in the early stages of their pre-marital or marital relationships, with or without children, as well as general relationship problems and functional life issues. We make a distinction between clients struggling with mental health versus mental illness. We provide early intervention and prevention services and mental health treatment to clientele with mild to moderate (Tier I and Tier II) levels of functioning. Services are integrative and blended. We integrate different evidence-based treatment models and our innovative approach, based on the client’s individualized treatment needs, after a thorough assessment.
We strive to be flexible and innovative while utilizing research-based models to meet your individual needs. We use an open-ended format and let your overall presentation and flow guide the session. We attempt to follow your need and gently guide you as needed. Modeling and storytelling are integrated parts of our style, and we may share our own or others’ stories to help create deeper understanding. Below are some of the main models we may utilize with this approach:

We have two different treatment options:
This track is covered by most insurance plans so long as you meet medical necessity, which includes a mental health diagnosis. Under this track, we design a family therapy plan around the family member with a mental health diagnosis. Couple counseling is not covered under this plan.
This track is self-pay only. Under this track, the model is flexible and designed to address any life issues causing distress. A full assessment will take place, and we will formulate a treatment plan. The only requirements for service are the client’s willingness and ability to pay.
